Perhaps it should be called the HELEN THOMAS GALAXY....

Wow, that's really amazing. From a botched beginning Hubble has become one of the most spectacular science projects ever.

Oh no, I can't bear the image of that far away galaxy if it looks anything like her. Even on one of her rare 'good days'.

It would be interesting to see what it looks like now.

“about 13.2 billion light-years”

It would be interesting to see what it looks like now. Hang around for another 13.2 billion years and you will see.
We don't know that this galaxy still exists.
To have an idea of just how much 13.2 billion light years means, I read once that our sun, at 93 million miles is about 8 light minutes away. I hope I'm remembering correctly, if not consider the fact that I'm very old.

“...beating out the old record-holder by about 100 million light-years.”
Eh. A cosmological photo finish.

“Space,” it says, “is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space, listen...”

Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have peered further back in time than ever before, spotting a galaxy that formed...after the birth of our universe, making it the oldest and most distant ever seen.
does that make sense???
galaxy fromed after the birth of our universe, making it the oldest ever seen...
if it was formed after our universe, wouldn’t that make it younger...wouldn’t that make our universe older?
what am i missing here?
